Brand’s lap The cane was an ugly thing to Savage like a rattlesnake It made him uncomfortable and when he was uncomfortable Savage lost his temper He slammed his hand down on his desk and considering the size of his hand it was a wonder the desk didn’t crack in two The general was a mountain of muscles with a tree trunk-size neck and a face like a slab of concrete He’d fought in fourteen wars Rumor had it that he’d started ten of them himself just to stay in practice Brand nodded respectfully He didn’t want to talk about the explosion that had injured his leg He wasn’t the talking type He could dismantle clean and rebuild an AK-47 in forty-two seconds but share his feelings Never tried it Well I have something that will put a smile on your face Savage said as he opened a drawer in his desk and pulled out an overstuffed manila folder with the words TOP SECRET printed on it in red He passed it to the former spy and sat back in his chair with a knowing grin I was wondering if you are ready to get back to work
